No improvement in the weather today with a very light SE>2 with clear blue skies and sunshine at 
1 degree rising to 10 degree mid afternoon and looking about the same for tomorrow.
                                                            Having said that there was a slight improvement of birds but the skies were still empty.
A Snipe flushed from the SE corner landing over on Fill Belly Flat whilst a single Common Sandpiper was working its way along the west bank as well as 2 Redshank.
                               The pair of Ringed Plovers were in the boatyard picking worms from the short grassed area along with a pair of Pied Wagtail.
Nothing on the water other than 2 LBB gulls and a single Herring along with the usual Geese and Mallards.
                            The Goldie flock was in the Nolstar field late morning but missing late afternoon.
